      She was going to get that attention anyways I have a close friend from school that won over 40 million She didn’t go on Ellen but the press had stories about her and she had people writing people showing up all the tine it was going to happen whether she did this or not. U should never someone u don’t know especially someone doing great things for others I hear jealousy Not concern She seems like a good kind person Look in the mirror and ask yourself why u feel you can judge ;)
